Haus Murphy's

Haus Murphy's, located in downtown Glendale, is known for its authentic and delicious German food and a lively, fun atmosphere. If you already love German food, it is a fun dinner date. And if you don't know your sauerkraut from your schnitzel, a date to Haus Murphy will be a culinary adventure.

We go to dinner every now and again and make a tradition of going to their Oktoberfest each fall. The atmosphere is casual but you could dress up and not feel out of place. The service is friendly and there is often live music on week-ends.

Check out their website www.hausmurphys.com, for the most up-to-date events. If you go for Oktoberfest, a band flies in from Germany to provide live and unique entertainment. Be ready for German tunes mixed with American oddities - you will have a chance to show off your Chicken Dance style!

Haus Murphy's is open for lunch and dinner. The beer is definitely worth sampling, with 7-10 varieties on draught, light, dark, and seasonal favorites.

If you go for the Oktoberfest, everything is served outdoors. The atmosphere is informal, so go to relax and have fun.
